This recipe makes 16-25 pieces of fudge depending on the size you cut them into and it looks great on a charcuterie board too! Festive for Thanksgiving or Christmas, this is great on a cheese board or dessert table and it a family favorite!

You will need:

½ cup butter

Light brown sugar (1/2 cup packed)

½ c granulated sugar

½ cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

8×8″ baking dish

parchment paper

Directions for Easy Butter Pecan Fudge:

Place butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a medium pan and place over medium heat on the stovetop.

Bring to a boil, and let boil for 5 minutes white stirring constantly.

Remove pan from heat and add in the vanilla and pecans.

Pour mixture into a 8×8” pan lined with parchment paper

Cool at room temperature completely.

For a richer flavor, feel free to toast the pecans before you start the fudge.

Great idea = You can substitute dark brown sugar for the light brown sugar and real maple syrup instead of vanilla extract for a maple pecan fudge too!
